According to the LPSO, Turner alleged that a man identified as Raymond Lebouef, 44, raped her at the hotel.

LPSO detectives said that after further questioning, Lebouef told them he had solicited a sexual encounter with Turner through a social media website. After the two had consensual sex, Turner apparently did not want to spend the night with Lebouef, authorities said.

Officials said Turner ran from the room to the reception desk and told staff that she had been raped.

Turner was arrested by LPSO deputies and taken to the Lafourche Parish Detention Center. Her bond has been set at $5,500.
